Tire Chains for Graders, Loaders, and Scrapers

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

We are pleased to announce our tire chains website has now added the entire suite of tire chains that are sized for Graders, Loaders, and Scrapers manufactured by RUD Chains onto our online catalog. Furthermore, we feel it important to note that all of these chains for this heavy equipment have been priced at an attractive 20% off of the manufacturer’s list price.

Quite often we get requests for the 10mm sized tire chains for heavy equipment. Obviously, this is the size of chain that is accepted in the industry as a tire chain that works well for this equipment. We would like to point out that there are actually five styles of tire chains that are sized for this equipment.

Grader and Equipment Tire Chains
These ladder style of chains are the low cost version for this equipment which is made out of China for RUD Chains. The price of this set of tire chains ranges from between $265 and $1,050 depending on the size. Link diameter ranges from 9 mm to 14 mm also depending on the size. You do have the option to purchase and add additional cross links if desired.

10mm Alloy Square Grader and Diamond Square Grader
These chains are assembled in the US and are made with a very strong alloy steel. They are offered in either the ladder style or the diamond style. Additionally, the ladder style comes in 4-link spacing; however, it can also be purchased in 2 link spacing style. These chains cost more than the China made chains; however they are a much stronger and sturdy chain more suitable for longer wear.

Of course both chains come in a link size of 10mm. The weight of the ladder style chains ranges from 126 lbs. to 255 lbs. per set and are priced from $680 to $1,465.

The weight of the diamond style chains ranges from 175 lbs. to 235 lbs. per set and are priced from $1,020 to $1,200.

RUD-profi Alligator
The Alligator style of chains was manufactured in Germany with high quality square links assembled into a mesh pattern. The width of the the square links ranges from 7-8mm. These chains are reversible and offer a smooth ride. The weight is between 101 lbs. and 246 lbs. per set. The price ranges from $1,965 and $3,820 depending on the size.

RUD-profi Bison
These chains are the most heavy duty chain available for equipment in the most extreme conditions. Not only are they made from the finest quality alloy steel, the links have an additional cross link between the links. The diameter size ranges from 9mm to 11mm and the weight per set ranges from 262 lbs. to 502 lbs. The price ranges from $3,475 and $7,460.
